Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. We appreciate your contributions to the Akron, Ohio article, but for legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted.
You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words.
If the external website belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text — which means allowing other people to modify it — then you must include on the external site the statement "I, (name), am the author of this article, (article name), and I release its content under the terms of the GNU Free Documentation License, Version 1.3 and later."

Hi there.

If you can't type the tilde character, you should click on the signature button located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your name and the time you posted the comment. This information is useful because other editors will be able to tell who said what, and when. Thank you! --Avant-garde a clue-hexaChord2 00:34, 6 January 2009 (UTC)
My apologies for removing the image, that was not my intent and I thought I had stopped the revert before it went through. Sorry again. §hep • ¡Talk to me! 01:25, 6 January 2009 (UTC)
Please read WP:COPYVIO - you have been adding text which is copyrighted and several of the images you have uploaded on Commons are also apparently copyvios or do not adequately state their source information. In general, things you find on the web are not free and cannot be uploaded or used on Wikipedia. Text must be rewritten in your own words and the source cited. Images are trickier.
For an example of a problem image, see File:CountyofSummit.jpg which you uploaded. You can not just list "web" as its source. It just so happens that it is a low resolution version of a map I made from US Census sources and is already on Wikipedia as File:Map of Summit County Ohio With Municipal and Township Labels.PNG. I have tagged it for deletion as a duplicate file.
Or File:Goodyear.jpg and File:GoodyearHead.jpg are lovely photos, but they are identical versions of each other and should not both be on Commons - one needs to be deleted and I have tagged one for deletion.
Several files appear to copyvios, for example File:Marathon pt 02.jpg and File:Akrons Art Museum.jpg both say they are from the Akron, Ohio website and thus are not free. I have tagged them for deletion. Many other images you uploaded to Commons also appear to be questionable. Please ask if you have other questions, Ruhrfisch ><>°° 02:09, 6 January 2009 (UTC)
Hi there, I'm not sure I understand why you undid my edit. Of the two images the one I added is clear and a dayshot, which allows correct colors to be seen; it also reflects with the article about the buidling. The image you put back was taken at night, blurry, much less of the building, and didn't have a good exposure time or angle resulting in the streaking of the lights on within the building. I'd really appreciate it if you could bring your problems with my edits to me or the article talk page instead of just undoing them, communication is key. Thanks. §hep • ¡Talk to me! 02:41, 6 January 2009 (UTC)

The file File:SummitCountyMeh.jpg has been tagged as not having a proper source or license. Only works by the U.S. Federal Government are public domain; not works by state, county, and local governments, which this file falls under. --JonRidinger (talk) 12:18, 15 January 2009 (UTC)

greetings, my schedule was bussy today and actually i didnt want it up until i could find more pictures and apply them all at once after previewing to see if looked right. But your spot not so bad and yes i'd like to participate with you. can i ask of you if you attend Akron University???--Rubohcity (talk) 23:00, 16 January 2009 (UTC)
oh then sorry for my wrong and yay for my right...im glad and who and why did they take off the FirstMerit Tower picture??? last ive gotten word that topograhpy needed more than just that building to be posted do you agree? and why yes im a freshman at the U of A :).--66.61.87.219 (talk) 18:53, 17 January 2009 (UTC)

because he/she obviously put it the way they wanted to, if you dont like it get your own camera and you take it as should be then.--Rubohcity (talk) 01:10, 17 January 2009 (UTC)
--Rubohcity (talk) 01:18, 17 January 2009 (UTC)
Sorry man, I don't think Step is out of hand. He is an experienced editor and you already know I think the picture needs to be cropped anyway, though in all honesty, I'd rather see an entirely new picture used in the infobox since both have problems. Also, a cropped version of the cityscape photo could be uploaded just for the infobox and the long version could be kept for the cityscape section if using it is so important to you. --JonRidinger (talk) 01:14, 17 January 2009 (UTC)
duplicate photos on a single lowers the value of an article, the page has been viewed by the masses and been accepted adding to your statement that both are flawed. so it should be kept as is until other more updated photos arrive.--Rubohcity (talk) 01:18, 17 January 2009 (UTC)
but also if you do a building count, the night picture features more of what its suppose to which is Akron.--Rubohcity (talk) 01:28, 17 January 2009 (UTC)
OK, but the day time photo only shows 2 or three prominent high rises while the night time photos shows all and landmarks included which are all identifable. That is infact what wikipedia is after.--Rubohcity (talk) 02:01, 17 January 2009 (UTC)
By saying that then your also saying that Quaker Square, Polymer Tower, Canal Place are not prominent, which is untrue. Exactly wikipedia neeeds a picture including those building in it which the night photo offers.--Rubohcity (talk) 02:18, 17 January 2009 (UTC)
Also the all-american bridge, with the day time photo you wouldnt even knew they existed judging by the picture if you never visited here. the progressive field and browns stadium arnt sky scrapers. All in all the needed requirement are mostly met best in ratio by the night picture for now.--Rubohcity (talk) 04:26, 17 January 2009 (UTC)
I don't know how to make this any clearer to you as it seems as your eyes are not your strongest tool. The Akron night photo also dosnt show too much sky or water(trees) and is in porportions to cleveland's, the cleveland article dosnt have bridges(beside the amtrak) simply because noone has took such a picture and partly due to landscape. Plus you contridict the prominent bulding statement and high resolution with your so it isn't important to include every tiny detail statement. Also i cant work with shep(not refusing, just saying) i started a "sandbox" on wordpad already and also i dont take offense to your language remark so please dont take offesene to my eyes remark.--Rubohcity (talk) 15:04, 17 January 2009 (UTC)
Then be through, the facts remain that in all around whats needed, the night picture satisfies all bases most. Also "yur" is an incorrect english spelling, is english your first language?--Rubohcity (talk) 16:07, 17 January 2009 (UTC)
One suggestion for a better photo would be to make a montage of the public domain images available of Akron. That way you could include your photo as part of the montage, plus it could include other landmark photos. See the leads of New York City and Washington, DC for examples. Just make sure the photos used in the montage are public domain...someone made a montage a little while ago that used copyrighted photos.--JonRidinger (talk) 16:01, 17 January 2009 (UTC)
But should a montage be reserved for "super cities"??--Rubohcity (talk) 16:12, 17 January 2009 (UTC)
thanks for the info agreed, currently cold here and snow wont make for a good picture so if you have any or can find any could you make it? also i added the citscape section if you see any errors please correct and tell me.--Rubohcity (talk) 16:30, 17 January 2009 (UTC)
ok will do and thanks for warning, by the way if it bothers you to keep having to come back and see if i commented then i'll start replying on your page?--Rubohcity (talk) 17:02, 17 January 2009 (UTC)
i should dive deeper in wikipedia it seems to be more intricate that i thought, i added one refference so far.--Rubohcity (talk) 17:14, 17 January 2009 (UTC)
right i shouldnt of had to be warned, but from what i seen so far it seems that only one sanbox can be made? plus the existing sandbox is missing alot of information and i dont know how to make one. what to do?--Rubohcity (talk) 17:26, 17 January 2009 (UTC)
